Laminate flooring

If you can match the color, I'd stick to having the same color throughout.

yeah me too, but I know nothing about style/decorating.

I know on HGTV decorating shows, all the "experts" frown on different color wood floors, and if they don't "flow" into one another (run the same way)

How about the dark in the center and the wide lighter color around the edge?

Can you do a dark/light checkerboard or something creative to tie in both the light and dark woods? I've used a laminate wood flooring in my entryway that came in 12' squares, like floortile.
I like sullyfish's idea too.

Interior design etiquette? There's no such thing. What the designers like this year, will be out of fashion 2 years from now.

You have to live with it for the next 10 years so do what you want to.

I saw a house a few years ago that a contractor lived in. He had used left over hard wood flooring from jobs to do the floors in his house. Each room was a different exotic species. It looked very nice. The required transition strip will act as a divider from one floor to another if you decide to use a different color.

I agree with parados on that - though I might wish the kitchen laminate had been a darker choice (re real colonials, but then they would have had thick hardwood) and then have the whole thing the same. But as it is, I would also probably now make it all the light laminate.

What's under the carpet? What is presently in the living room and hall?

Depending on the house - if it was really old - and the budget, I'd even consider taking the kitchen laminate out if I felt strongly enough about a darker color and had a swell bank account. (I don't.) Or maybe doing all the rest in what I wanted, and weaving at the interface as others have suggested.

On the other hand, if you like the light filled room look, find it fresher, I can see going that way and being quite happy I did.

As per my knowledge, if you've just bought a new house or apartment, you probably think how to decorate it. In all case, you should begin with the flooring ideas. Laminate flooring gives the appearance of hardwood to a home without the cost or installation hassle.

Well flooring must be the same in a house, if some change is desired then just add some pattern within the design of the floor so that an abstract look occurs. Laminating the floor makes it shine better so it is good if you are going for it.

Please don't think about any other, Just install laminate flooring wherever you want, It would be looking so nice and beautiful.

That said, I'm going to install laminate flooring under my hard wood flooring. And on the walls of my closets. And in the crawl spaces. Inside my chimney. Under my eyelids. Etc.... Thanks Angelofdeathhynes for giving us permission to laminate everything.

colour continuity is important in home decoration, maybe the same colour flooring is more suit for your home.

Since all the other room have light colour laminate go for the same colour. let me clear it if all the other room have the same light colour laminate then go for the same else if other room have different colour but they are light then you can change the colour and add dark colour .
